CVE Descriptions
Directory traversal vulnerability in the SwiftKey language-pack update implementation on Samsung Galaxy S4, S4 Mini, S5, and S6 devices allows remote web servers to write to arbitrary files, and consequently execute arbitrary code in a privileged context, by leveraging control of the skslm.swiftkey.net domain name and providing a .. (dot dot) in an entry in a ZIP archive, as demonstrated by a traversal to the /data/dalvik-cache directory.

| Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. |

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.
EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.
